Hey Everyone,

    Hope you all had a great week.  This last week was alright.  We had Zone Conference on Friday and Stake Conference on Sunday.  Zone Conference was good and stake conference was pretty good, too.  Unfortunately we didn't have any investigators at church.  President and Sister Wall spoke though and it was good to see some of the other missionaries in the mission.  A lot of our investigators kept canceling appointments and it got really tiring when we had three people cancel two or three times this week.  Oh well that happens.  We had a really good lesson with Herman and Miranda, though.  Herman was baptized about a month and a half ago and Miranda is his wife.  They're having problems right now in their marriage and they had a pretty bad week this week.  We went over on Saturday and talked to them about having family prayer, scripture study, and coming to church together.  They've already seen blessings from doing those things and Miranda is progressing well towards baptism.  Keep them in your prayers. 
    Well not too much else happened this week. Except, Oh yeah I forgot, We had the Craziest! lightning storm.  It was the worst storm I've ever been in, in my life.  It was crazy, I can't even explain it how awesome but terrifying it was!  Well I took a little video of it and it's on the memory card I sent home Mom.  But, other then that not too much else.  I hope you all have a great week and always be looking for ways to help those around you.

Love,
Elder Cooper
